What Questions Are Not Being Asked That Should Be?

[Joe Splitrock]

I read hundreds of questions in the forums every day. I see a lot of repetition in questions. People ask things like "Do I need an LLC" or "where do I advertise for tenants" or "how do you collect rent payment". We always seem to get the obvious questions, because of course they are obvious and common.

The harder part is the questions you should be asking, but don't even know you should be asking. More simply put: 

You don't know what you don't know.

This question is for experienced investors to share those things they wish they would have known or questions they wish they would have asked. Maybe you even have an area of real estate you wish you understood better and still have questions. I am hoping this thread can dig deeper and uncover some less obvious areas we all need to understand better.
